UC Berkeley will be running a mirror of VCU Open on Saturday, August 9. This tournament is "open", so anyone (high school, college, graduate school, post-college) can play, although please note that the tournament difficulty is "near collegiate nationals level" (not accessible to those who are newer to quiz bowl). We will have a field cap of 10 teams and will have registration at 235 Dwinelle Hall at 8:30AM.
Fees/Discounts:
Base Fee: $110
Buzzer discount: $10 per working buzzer
Travel discount: $30 per 100 miles traveled (one way) (will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis)
Minimum entry fee: $40
Please use this google form to register: https://docs.google.com/a/berkeley.edu/ ... o/viewform

We will be running Geo Monstrosity VI on Saturday after the conclusion of VCU Open.

I might be mildly interested in playing that Texas High School camp set on Sunday (and staffing on Saturday).
